For MSSA bacteremia, the SNAP trial found cefazolin was as effective as antistaphylococcal penicillins but caused fewer serious adverse events, largely due to less AKI.

Same bug. Same outcomes. Less kidney injury.

Cefazolin ftw

@YaraDeeb555 Congratulations Yara! Well deserved!

The KDIGO 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Evaluation and Management of Chronic Kidney Disease recommends using equations that include both creatinine and cystatin C for more accurate GFR estimation and risk assessment in CKD.

Are we unnecessarily withholding IV contrast from patients with kidney disease?
- Risk of contrast-induced nephropathy may be overstated
- Withholding contrast can delay diagnosis

This may be a #TWDFNR!

I am grateful to my family for their support, and to my attendings and colleagues at @siusom_IM for their unwavering guidance and encouragement.

[Nabil William Sweis @Sweis_NWG]

Very proud of my brother @JerrySweisMD who was recently awarded Outstanding Intern of the Year! I was very fortunate to witness firsthand his devotion and all the behind-the-scenes preparation and efforts he puts into caring for patients, and it’s inspiring to say the least!

[Jaleel Jerry Sweis @JerrySweisMD]

Daily effort to improve-even in small ways-adds up. Focus less on fast results, more on staying curious and committed to growth.

[Jaleel Jerry Sweis @JerrySweisMD]

4-Reasoning (Ex “Tell me how you reached this decision?”
If a patient doesn’t meet all four criteria, they are deemed to be a risk/threat to themselves and it is our duty as a physicians to protect them from themselves.

[Jaleel Jerry Sweis @JerrySweisMD]

After my first two weeks on Internal Medicine wards at @siusom, I’ve learned a lot about handling situations where patients leave against medical advice. I thought it would be valuable to share some insights

[Jaleel Jerry Sweis @JerrySweisMD]

2-Factual understanding (Ex: “Tell me in your own words the nature of your condition?” “What do you belive will happen to you if you don’t get treatment?”)

3-Appreciation (Ex: “What do you believe will happen to you if you don’t get treated?”)

[Jaleel Jerry Sweis @JerrySweisMD]

To be considered "Decisional" (having Decision-Making Capacity), a patient must meet all four of the following criteria:
1-Expression of preference (Patient must be able to state a prefrence)

It was a true pleasure for me to create this figure for the review!
